Over the river they call me, Friends that are dear to my heart; Soon shall I meet them in glory, Never, no never to part. Refrain Over the river to Eden, Home to their dwelling so fair; Angels will carry me safely. Jesus will welcome me there. Over the river they call me, Hark, 'tis their voices I hear, Borne on the wings of the twilight, Murmuring softly and clear. Refrain Over the river, how lovely, There is no sorrow nor night; There they are walking with Jesus, Clothed in His garment of light. Refrain Over the river they call me, Watching with glad, beaming eyes; Over the river I'm coming, Joyful my spirit replies. Refrain
